Bulletin of Dental Education

Again in October 2010, dental faculty, students, residents, and fellows will be able to access Education in the Round from the American Dental Association (ADA) Annual Session in Orlando online and at no cost.

Education in the Round offers live-patient procedures in a fully functional dental operatory. Remote viewers will see up-close high definition images of the doctor's work while the procedure is in process and participate in interactive questions and answers. There is no cost for this unique educational opportunity, created in partnership with the American Dental Association (ADA) and sponsored by Philips Sonicare.

Academic dental institutions can make the live feed available in lecture halls for students to watch the courses, have group discussions, and submit real-time questions. Access will be password protected, and passwords will be provided to dental school deans in September. A maximum of 5,000 connections can watch live, and the recorded sessions will be available for viewing for 30 days.
